I apologize for my lack of blogs. My computer broke in Cambodia last month. Right now we are finishing up our month in Kenya. It was our first of four months here in Africa. It was a tough month to say the least.
We spent our first two weeks working with local pastors. We did some labor around the camp and street evangelism and over ten people committed their lives to Christ. Apparently we pissed Satan off, so he sent literal thieves in the night to attack us. A lot of stuff was stolen, but most importantly we weren't touched or harmed, just threatened. It wasn't a light situation but that's all I feel obligated to share via blog.
The timing was impeccable because just a few days later many parents came to Africa. My dad was here and that was amazing. Nothing quite beats a big hug from a loving parent after a rough week. Plus, we got to serve beside each other for a week and truly start to understand each other's heart.
Anyways, all that being said, most seem to have a positive attitude after all the ruckus. Me on the other hand, well I seem to be having a bit of a harder time. I have many questions and fears after my second near death experience in 6 months. I am questioning why again and is this going to be a continual sequence of my life? I am asking for the faith to truly trust Him again. I want to believe He is a good God, His love is great and that good will come from it. I'm questioning why Satan wants me dead so bad and why God wants me to stay alive.
So I am asking for your prayers for my teammates and I as we all work through this with God and each other. Thanks for all of your continual emails and encouragement. You guys are awesome. Love you,
Riz ( the Kenyan way to say Liz)
